The Great Reckoning Approaches: Christian Reflections, By Peter West

The world stands at a precipice, teetering on the edge of a great reckoning that grows ever closer with each passing day. The signs are unmistakable: a relentless assault on truth, a deliberate erosion of faith, and a calculated push toward chaos that threatens to engulf nations and souls alike. Drawing from the Christian perspective that sees history as a battle between Christ's light and the darkness of human rebellion, this blog post argues that the hour is late, and a divine judgment looms—not as a distant prophecy, but as an imminent reality, drawing inspiration from post by George Christensen saying the same thing: https://nationfirst.substack.com/p/the-great-unravelling-has-begun.

The crises of our time—globalist control, moral inversion, and the persecution of the faithful—are not mere political missteps but spiritual harbingers of a world unmoored from God, calling believers to stand firm before it is too late.

The evidence of this unravelling is all around us, cloaked in the guise of progress but rooted in rebellion against divine order. Governments, once stewards of justice, now criminalise conscience and mock the sacred. Laws in some jurisdictions forbid Christians from praying with those seeking to escape sinful lifestyles, branding such acts as crimes punishable by years in prison. This is not governance—it is apostasy, a new state religion that demands worship of woke over God. The secular priesthood exalts gender ideology as gospel, mutilates children in the name of liberation, and silences dissent with the fervour of inquisitors. These are not isolated policies but deliberate steps in a spiritual war, where truth is called evil and evil is crowned as good. As Isaiah 5:20 warns, "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness." The hour grows late when a society so brazenly defies God's design, inviting His righteous judgment.

This war extends beyond culture to the very foundations of human freedom. Globalism, sold as a path to prosperity, has revealed itself as a tower of Babel—a system built on pride and power, not peace. It has hollowed out nations, shipping jobs to distant shores while leaving communities to wither. The elites who orchestrated this—figures like Klaus Schwab and their World Economic Forum—promised utopia but delivered dependence, surveilling citizens while preaching "you'll own nothing and be happy." Now, as tariffs disrupt their fragile empire and markets tremble, their house of cards begins to fall. Revelation 18:11 speaks of a day when "the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn" over Babylon's collapse, and we see its shadow today as globalist schemes unravel. The reckoning approaches not because of economic miscalculation but because God will not be mocked by those who exalt themselves above Him.

Our children, the most vulnerable, bear the brunt of this rebellion. Schools, once places of learning, have become altars of indoctrination, where activist curriculums teach confusion over clarity, urging the young to reject their God-given nature. Drag queen story hours and radical gender ideologies are not mere fads but sacraments of a new faith that seeks to supplant Christ with woke. In some regions, home schoolers face creeping state control, as governments claim ownership over the next generation. Psalm 127:3 declares children as "a heritage from the Lord," yet today they are treated as pawns in a battle for control. This theft of innocence is a grave sin, one that cries out for divine justice. The hour is late when a society sacrifices its young to idols of ideology, hastening the day of reckoning.

The Church, called to be salt and light, faces persecution for standing firm. Pastors are fined for preaching Biblical truth; believers are deplatformed for questioning secular dogmas. Yet this is no surprise—Jesus warned in John 15:18, "If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you." The state's new theocracy brooks no rivals, demanding submission over worship of the true King. This is not politics but spiritual warfare, where every law reflects a moral choice, and every system bows to a "god"—either Christ or Caesar. The globalist reset, with its carbon credits and surveillance states, is not a neutral policy but a rebellion against the Creator, replacing His order with man's tyranny. As Romans 1:25 describes, they "exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator." Such defiance cannot stand forever; the reckoning draws near as God's patience wanes.

The collapse of this system is already underway, not by human hands alone but by divine design. Economic tremors shake the foundations of global trade, with tariffs exposing the fragility of a world built on greed rather than godliness. Currencies falter, supply chains buckle, and the elites who once boasted of control now scramble to salvage their power. This is no accident—Proverbs 16:18 reminds us, "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." The globalist dream was always doomed, for it sought to dethrone God and enthrone man. As their schemes crumble, the faithful see a glimpse of judgment, a foretaste of the day when every knee will bow, as Philippians 2:10-11 promises, to Christ alone. The hour is late, and the signs of reckoning multiply.

Yet even in this darkness, there is a call to action, for the reckoning is not only judgment but a summons to choose. Joshua 24:15 echoes through the ages: "Choose this day whom you will serve." Will it be Christ, the King of truth and freedom, or the chaos of a world that rejects Him? The crises—lockdowns, censorship, moral decay—are not merely trials but clarion calls to awaken the Church and the faithful. Too long have Christians been silent, lulled by comfort or cowed by fear. The state's new globalist communist religion offers no neutrality; it demands allegiance. To remain passive is to concede ground to darkness. The hour is late, and believers must rise—praying boldly, speaking truth, protecting their children, and reclaiming their nations for God's glory.

The "great reckoning" approaches because God's justice cannot be delayed forever. The world's rebellion—its mockery of faith, its sacrifice of innocence, its lust for power—has piled sin upon sin, and the cup of wrath grows full. 2 Peter 3:9 assures us that God is "patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish," but patience is not permission. The longer we defy Him, the closer we draw to the day when accounts are settled. The Met Office's fabricated data, cited in another blog piece today by Richard Miller as evidence of manipulated climate narratives, reflects this broader deceit—a world weaving lies to justify control, whether through fear of pandemics or environmental collapse. Such falsehoods only hasten the reckoning, for as Galatians 6:7 warns, "God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap."

In these final moments, the choice is stark: Christ or chaos, light or darkness, freedom or servitude? The hour is late, and the shadows lengthen, but it is not yet too late to take a stand. The "great reckoning" looms—a divine accounting that will expose every lie and restore every truth. Christians must prepare, not in fear but in faith, knowing that the King they serve is sovereign over all. The world's systems may crumble, but His kingdom endures. Let us choose boldly, act swiftly, and trust wholly, for the day of the Lord is near, and the hour grows ever later.

The crises of recent years—lockdowns, censorship, gender ideology, and mandates—were not accidental; they were deliberate steps in a global campaign for control.

Under the guise of safety and inclusion, governments have criminalised conscience, attacked Christianity, and pushed a new state religion that demands total submission.

Globalism was never about prosperity—it was about power, and now that system is collapsing under its own corruption.

Our children are being indoctrinated, our freedoms stripped, and our faith mocked—all enforced by laws that punish truth and reward obedience.

This is not politics—it's spiritual war, and every person must now choose: Christ or chaos, freedom or servitude, truth or tyranny.

What we're living through right now isn't a string of isolated crises. It's not coincidence. It's not incompetence. It is coordinated, calculated control. A globalist web of power that has slowly but surely tightened around your faith, your family, your freedoms, and your very future.

This isn't the utopia Klaus Schwab (founder of the World Economic Forum or WEF, a group of unelected elites pushing for top-down global governance) promised. It's not the WEF's perfect playground of carbon credits, drag queen story hours, and lab-grown meat. No—this reset is the reckoning. The system they built is crumbling under its own wicked weight. And they're terrified.

Let's pull back the curtain.

Over the past few years, we've been hit with lockdowns, mandates, censorship, gender ideology, trade wars, supply chain collapse, and now the criminalisation of conscience itself. Not one of those was random. They were trials—each one tightening the leash to see how much you'd take before you broke.

You remember 2020, don't you? They locked us in our homes. Closed churches. Banned funerals. Taped up playgrounds. They told your six-year-old not to drink water at the park—lest the demon droplets escape his lips. And while you were stuck inside, the elites partied, the rich got richer, and the "experts" climbed the media throne.

It was never about health. It was about obedience.

They said, "Trust the science," but they meant "submit to the priesthood of Pharma." Trust Pfizer, trust Anthony Fauci (the former U.S. chief medical adviser who orchestrated America's COVID response and, probably, orchestrated the entire pandemic itself), trust the World Health Organization—while they censored real doctors, shut down early treatments, and rushed experimental gene therapy into your bloodstream. If you questioned it? Silenced. Deplatformed. Labelled a danger to society. All in the name of "safety."

But now the lockdowns are over and the masks are off—and what do we see?

The state will let your child change their gender behind your back—but if you offer them spiritual counsel, you could face five years behind bars.

We're not in Kansas anymore. This is blasphemy law by another name—and Christianity is the blasphemy.

In New South Wales, Australia, it is now illegal to pray with someone who wants to leave the LGBT lifestyle. Read that again. You can go to prison for praying with someone who asks for help. Even if they come to you. Even if they're desperate. If that prayer suggests a man isn't really a woman, or that sex outside of marriage is sin, you're now a criminal.

What we're witnessing is a complete inversion of truth. Good is called evil. Evil is called good. God is mocked. Children are mutilated. Parents are prosecuted. The Church is gagged. And the media applauds, calling it "progress."

This isn't tolerance—it's totalitarianism. These are apostasy laws. You can convert to the state religion—but you cannot leave it. Try to walk away, or help someone else do the same, and the law will crush you.

So no, they're not just writing new laws—they're installing a new religion. Secularism isn't neutral. It is a theocracy, with its own gods, its own priests, its own sacraments, and its own sins. It replaces God with man, the church with the state, and truth with ideology. And it demands full submission.

The god is the State.
The gospel is gender.
The sacrament is surgery.
The scripture is "trust the experts."
And the devil is you—if you dare dissent.

Meanwhile, your children are being groomed. Not metaphorically. Literally. Through activist-run curriculums, drag queen story hours, and radical gender indoctrination, they are turning children into lab experiments—and calling it liberation. And if you object, you're the extremist.

And for those who want to escape the woke youth indoctrination camps that they call school, well, you can't because now they're targeting homeschoolers. In New South Wales (once again), they've quietly shifted homeschool regulation away from an independent body to the Department of Education itself. This isn't about oversight but, rather, infiltration. A move to bring every child under state control. A similar was narrowly thwarted in Queensland, Australia last year. The message is clear: you don't own your children. They do.

If that sounds like Marxism, it's because it is.

And while the cultural chaos blinds us, the economic system is collapsing right under our feet.

Globalisation was never about prosperity. It was always about power. It turned self-reliant nations into dependent clients, citizens into consumers, and governments into puppets. Your jobs were shipped overseas. Your industries were gutted. And your leaders shrugged—because they were in on it.

But now the game's up. The globalist model is collapsing—and the elites know it. Decades of outsourcing, of trading national sovereignty for cheap imports and fat profits, have left us vulnerable, hollowed out, and beholden to Beijing and Silicon Valley. The cracks aren't just visible—they're catastrophic.

Tariffs are slamming into the system. Supply chains are buckling. Stocks are plunging. Recession looms. And suddenly, the very architects of this house of cards are admitting it can't stand.

Of course, it can't. It was built to fall.

They told you to "build back better" while they torched the foundations of your country. They told you to embrace job losses, inflation, food rationing, and energy poverty as the noble cost of "progress." They mocked your suffering and called it transition. And when they said, "You'll own nothing and be happy"? That wasn't a prediction. That was a threat.

Now, as President Donald Trump—back in office and unapologetically leading the charge for economic nationalism—detonates the global trade system with sweeping tariffs on nearly every U.S. trading partner, particularly China, and the entire framework is shaking. Currencies are crashing. Markets are gasping. And the elites? They're sweating. Because their fake economy is dying—and with it, their grip on you.

This isn't the Great Reset they promised. This is the reckoning they feared. The moment the people wake up. The moment the silent majority stands tall. The moment Christians remember they already have a King—and His name sure as hell isn't Klaus Schwab.

Let's be very clear here:

This is Christ versus chaos. There is no neutral ground anymore.

Every law is a moral law. Every system has a god. Every government will bend the knee—to Christ or to tyranny. That's it. There is no middle way. There never was.

Secularism has replaced God with man, truth with feelings, and freedom with surveillance. It has given us child drag shows, sterilised teenagers, double-masked toddlers, collapsing economies, and legal penalties for praying in your living room.

This is what happens when a nation forgets who it is. This is what happens when churches stay silent, when parents stay passive, and when patriots stay seated.

So where does that leave us?

It leaves us at the crossroads.

Do we bow our heads and go along? Or do we rise up, speak truth, protect our children, and take back our countries?

We must choose now because they've already chosen for us. And their choice is control.

It's Christ or Caesar.
Freedom or servitude.
Light or darkness.
Christ… or chaos.

Choose wisely. And choose boldly. Because the hour is late, and the reckoning is here."
